More on Clicker Training

Having trouble potty training your dog ? Then click here for some answers….

The four messages mentioned a few days ago about the four reward markers that can be used to train your dog..

These four messages do not have to be communicated with words, and other, nonverbal signals, can be used.

Mechanical clickers are one of the options that are often used for the reward marker.
Hand signals and body language also play an important part in learning for dogs.

Repetition is the way to teach the meaning of the four signals. You must consistently give your dog a reward marker immediately before giving him a food treat. The dog soon will learn to associate the reward marker with receiving something pleasant.

Also do the same with a punishment marker before he is scolded or put outside for bad behaviour, he will soon learn to associate the punishment marker with the punishment itself.

Remember dog training is all about consitency and repetition, and therefore is very dependant on you. The most re-inforcement and repetition the better and quicker your dog will respond.
